It's not necessarily as dormant as Gasper's Balor, but it's definitely a lot less responsive than either Ddraig or Albion. It's just more reclusive by nature, but it's got one hell of a temper.

Final thing you can know, all the times where Vin's been visibly confused about why his emotions are so strong isn't because he's emotionally detached from himself, it's because whatever's inside his gear is trying to influence his emotions to coax him into a strong-enough emotional state where it awakens the gear proper.

Also whoever it is, hates people named Charles. Coincidentally, there's a Midas' Rings user in history who has that name. Coincidence?

"You guys think that Griselda's back yet?" Vanessa asked as the group walked towards the entrance of the Vatican.

"Nah," Ethan chimed in, "Probably not. It takes a little while to get to Heaven and back, so maybe around another hour or two?"

"Hm, you're probably right."

Jafar stepped to the front of the group, reaching into his pockets and pulling out a key that he used to unlock the front door. As the group wandered in, Vin took note of how the main cathedral of the Vatican looked hauntingly beautiful in the dead of night. People who would have milled around on the main floor long since left for the night, letting the sounds of their footsteps clack against the still May air.

Standing there, awed by the sight in front of him, looking as the moonlight cast a beautiful glow through the stained glass that lined the halls. Vin froze in place, his allies walking by him, as his sight was transfixed on the stained glass before him. Why was he so captivated by it? Why did it feel like the longer he looked at it, the more something shifted in his memory, like a thrashing of some nagging ideas buried deep under the mire and ilk of his brain.

He kept staring at it, and before long, Vin became aware of the fact that he couldn't move his body anymore… Something was wrong… Something was whispering forth from the back of his mind, like a phantom of a memory that Vin didn't even know he had. It was too quiet to hear, but every time it repeated, it grew in intensity and volume within his own head.

[...Get Away…]

"Uh, Vinny? Is everything alright?" Irina questioned, "You're kind of spacing out."

[...Run….]

"...I'm… fine…" Vin droned out, his gaze growing befuddled as he kept his eyes locked on the glass.

[...Something's coming…]

[...IT'S ALMOST HERE…]

[RUN YOU FOOL!]

The voice screamed out throughout his entire nervous system with such intensity that Vin visibly jumped.

And at that fleeting moment, as if to defy nature itself, the world glowed alight, as if the raging midday sun had returned to the sky. All around the glow pierced through the windows and murals, the group, caught off guard by the display, drew their weapons in an instant.

His Sacred Gear manifested on his fingers, while Vin's ears were filled with the sound of buzzing, like the sound of a television being switched on.

One second, everything was ominously quiet, only the sound of a faint buzz carrying across the midnight air.

The next, the roof exploded in a rain of stone all while a piercing light shone through, down onto the group, illuminating them like a spotlight on a stage.

Everyone looked up, as their faces contorted from confusion, to panic, to absolute horror; as the silhouette of a figure cut through the light, descending down on ten abyssal wings. Like a perverse imitation of something holy, the being continued it's descent, until it hovered several feet from the ground.

Vin finally managed to sneak a good look at the winged-man, his long black hair streaking down his body, his blood-red eyes peering down at the group, scanning along their rank and file, his eyes pausing on each glimpse of the four Excalibur Fragments clutched in the hands of Vin's allies.
